We’re reaching peak AAA season right here within the video games universe which in previous years has signaled the hibernation of the indie group. Seems, we’re far more resilient than that now. This week we’ve acquired a handful of imaginative video games that defy conventional classification.
Figment
Media critics throw across the phrase “dreamlike” on what appears like a every day foundation. This movie feels dream like, this music seems like a dream, and so on… Figment is among the first video games I’ve performed that appears like being wrapped in a heavy blanket and slowly falling asleep. Often type of feeling can be a criticism however Figment is aware of precisely what it’s doing.
The sport itself is a puzzler/ exploration however lowering the sport into genres misses the purpose. Figment’s artwork, design, and music all work collectively to drive dwelling the sleepy feeling. Yeah the artwork is beautiful, and certain the music is nice however the recreation is far more than the sum of its elements.

Doki Doki Literature Membership didn’t seem like my sort of recreation at first. Saccharine slice-of-life anime has by no means been my bag however after sufficient individuals beneficial the sport to me I made a decision to test it out. I gained’t go into any of the plot of the sport for worry of spoilers, but when the aesthetic doesn’t instantly seize you there’s in all probability nonetheless one thing to like within the recreation.
Tracks: The Practice Set Recreation
Let’s begin this advice out with a query: Do you want trains? I’m guessing that exterior of fanatic communities the reply goes “certain I suppose” accompanied by a shrug. Properly it’s time to get enthusiastic about trains as a result of Tracks is right here to eat your afternoon.
Tracks isn’t about actual trains, no these are difficult and fiddly. Tracks is a recreation about toy trains and the tracks (get it) they journey round on. I’ve lengthy maintained that video games –and all art– ought to problem you bodily or mentally indirectly however Tracks is a thorn within the facet of that argument. There’s not likely a “problem” to Tracks, so far as I can collect it’s a recreation primarily about hangin’ out along with your trainset and recreating the emotions of your youth. In the event you ever needed to play trains however skip having 15 kilos of picket items round your own home, Tracks is for you.
